• Notes

  John Gillintine, the son of Nicholas Gillintine and his Echols wife, did not inherit anything in his father's will because his father had already given him 397 acres of land. Nevertheless John's heirs got £5 cash so they would not dispute the will. John appeared himself on a tithe list beginning in 1738, soon after receiving the land from his father. John was often assigned to jury duty in Amelia County. On 19 August 1745, the churchwardens bound out William Allen, an orphan, to John Gillintine. Researchers believe John married Rachel Hendrick, the daughter of Adolphus Hendrick. Adolphus secured a patent for 490 acres in King William County 20 February 1719/20, and 1,000 acres on 28 September 1728. Hans Hendrick, Adolphus's father, appeared first in Virginia first on 25 April 1701 when he received a patent for 594 acres in King and Queen County for the importation of twelve persons including himself and his wife, Jane. A year later, on 28 October 1702, Hans obtained a patent for 175 acres “in sight of Hance's old plantation.” Later, on 24 March 1725/6, Hance Hendrick Sr. patented 200 acres in St. John's Parish of King William County. On this same day Hans Hendrick Jr. patented 100 acres nearby. The latter was the Hans Hendrick who appeared later in Amelia County records. This Hans Hendrick wrote his will in Amelia County 30 January 1773. On 20 March 1746/7, John Gillintine deeded an acre of his Amelia County land to William Echols <http://www.virginians.com/topics/838.htm> [838.3] and Joseph Collins <http://www.virginians.com/topics/838.htm> [838.7.8/S] “for love and affection he bears for his friends”. John disappeared from the Amelia County tax rolls the same year and moved to Lunenburg County. He disposed of his land next to his father's property in three transactions. On 20 March 1748/9, John Gillintine, “of Lunenburg County,” made two deeds in Amelia County. One was for 100 acres to Nicholas Gillintine for £8 and the other was for 50 acres for £5 to John Hill, of Raleigh Parish. He later sold Moses Estes 240 acres on 7 October 1749, for £40. On 3 November 1750, John Guillintine held 204 acres on the south side of the Staunton River in Lunenburg County. John Gillintine appeared as a single tithable on Lunenburg County lists in 1748, 1749, and 1750. When they created Halifax County, his land fell in the new county. From 1752 until 1756, he was a member of the Vestry of Antrim Parish in Halifax County. Among the other first vestrymen of Antrim were Richard Echols <http://www.virginians.com/topics/838.htm> [838.5], Paul Carrington <http://www.virginians.com/topics/862.htm> [862.3.1], and William Wynne. John was in a mess of trouble in 1753. Clement Read, then the king's prosecutor, accused John of passing counterfeit coins. A few months later they charged him the cost of a trial because he wrongly accused Nathaniel Terry of riding a stray horse. John left no will and they returned the inventory of his estate on 20 January 1763. Children of John Gillintine: William Gillintine [418.4.1] was identified as a son of John Gillintine in the original will of his grandfather, Nicholas. On 10 July 1762, William Gillintine made a deed of gift to his father “for love, good will & the better maintenance of sd John.” The tract was 102 acres in Halifax County next to Edward Booker. Witnesses to this deed were Richard Murphy and Joseph Echols <http://www.virginians.com/topics/838.htm> [838.4]. We know that three years earlier Edward Booker was farming land John already owned. This suggests that John could not farm his own land but was supporting himself on rent. William died before 7 October 1786 when three Halifax County citizens inventoried his estate. Two Gillintine women married in Halifax County and we have placed them as daughters of William Gillintine - the only known male Gillintine. Elizabeth Gillintine [418.4.1.1] married Isaac Martin in Halifax County 5 October 1791. He was the son of Isaac Martin of Halifax County who originated in Caroline County. Susanna Gillintine [418.4.1.2] married Benjamin Hubbard <http://www.virginians.com/topics/234.htm> [234.H1.5] in Halifax County 7 April (bond) 1786. Benjamin's father was married to Hannah Martin, another child of the elder Isac artin. Priscilla Gillintine [418.4.2] was Priscilla Hendrick in the will of her grandfather. She married Nathaniel Hendrick, her first cousin once removed. Nathaniel died in Pittsylvania County (will dated 25 Jan. 1793 , recorded 19 June 1797). Mary Hendrick [418.4.2.1] married John Craddock <http://www.virginians.com/topics/412.htm> [412.5]. Sarah Hendrick [418.4.2.2] married a Dews. Ezekiel Hendrick [418.4.2.3]. Jerusha Gillintine [418.4.3] was identified as a daughter of “John Gillington, decd.” in the original 1772-will of her grandfather, Nicholas.
